Rain, rain, rain

But not cold.  Very enjoyable actually.  It is so different from a typical September back home!  It has been raining quite a bit since Monday, so the ground has been too wet to do any chopping.  But I did receive my first tractor driving lesson today.  We just drove up and down the road a few times just to get the feel of it.   

Because of the rain we received earlier in the week we were able to climb Jim's mountain yesterday afternoon.  It was such a pretty climb!  We followed the trail up a ways and then blazed our way through the trees and undergrowth until we reached the top.  Had it been a clear day we could have seen down across the valley.  As it was, we ended up in the clouds and mist.  Every time someone would grab and sapling to maneuver around it, the person directly behind would be showered with water.  We were such a mess by the time we got to the top!  Fortunately, we did not run across any rattlers or copperheads.  We did pass a pretty good sized black snake resting on a log.  No worries with those.

Church service tonight.  Looking forward to being with their youth group again one last time.  We shall see what sort of adventures the rest of the week holds.  Still thoroughly enjoying the visiting.
